This is still done with e.g. Squeak Smalltalk.
If you had a pair of programs:
save-to-internet <filename>
load-from-internet <filename>
based on some fancy peer to peer thingy then it might be really cool
to use with VMware, Squeak, etc.
Though if you really want it I imagine you can easily hook yourself up
using rsync anyway, provided you have a shell somewhere.
